Abstract

In this reply, we show that the adiabatic theorem would break down in the weak coupling limit, and the definition for the subsystem geometric phase is well defined.

Comment on “Berry Phase in a Composite System”

Han Li, Yong Guo

We show in this comment that the results obtained in a recent work by Yi et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 150406 (2004)] are quantitatively not correct and the proposed subsystem Berry phase is not well-defined.

Berry phase and Hannay’s angle in a quantum-classical hybrid system

H. D. Liu, S. L. Wu, X. X. Yi

The Berry phase, which was discovered more than two decades ago, provides very deep insight into the geometric structure of quantum mechanics. Its classical counterpart, Hannay's angle, is defined if closed curves of action variables return to the same curves in phase space after a time evolution. In this paper we study the Berry phase and Hannay's angle in a quantum-classical hybrid system under the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. By the term quantum-classical hybrid system, we mean a composite system consists of a quantum subsystem and a classical subsystem. The effects of subsystem-subsystem couplings on the Berry phase and Hannay's angle are explored. The results show that the Berry phase has been changed sharply by the couplings, whereas the couplings have a small effect on the Hannay's angle.

Berry’s phase with quantized field driving: Effects of intersubsystem coupling

L. C. Wang, H. T. Cui, X. X. Yi

The effect of intersubsystem coupling on the Berry phase of a composite system as well as that of its subsystem is investigated. We analyze two coupled spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ systems with one driven by a quantized field as an example. The pure-state geometric phase of the composite system as well as the mixed-state geometric phase for the subsystem is calculated and discussed.

The adiabatic theorem for non-Hermitian quantum systems with real eigenvalues and the complex geometric phase

Minyi Huang, Ray-Kuang Lee

The adiabatic theorem is one of the most interesting and significant theorems in quantum mechanics. However, the adiabatic theorem can fail for general non-Hermitian quantum systems. In this paper, by utilizing the complex geometric phase, the functional calculus for biorthogonal systems and the Grönwall inequality, we prove rigorously that the adiabatic theorem is still valid for diagonalizable non-Hermitian systems with real eigenvalues. The proof also justifies the definition of a complex Berry phase for non-Hermitian systems, in both Abelian and non-Abelian cases.
